The scene in Scotland is constantly evolving and adapting and keeping this in mind there will be no residents at Street Knowledge so that local talents can be rotated as much as possible.

We're giving four DJ’s the chance to play in the brand new VIP Speakeasy Room at Street Knowledge. Impress all with your control of the decks as well as gaining that all important experience of playing to a hyped up crowd.

We have four 1 hour slots available and all you need to do is send in a 30 minute mix CD complete with some details about yourself to be in with a chance of playing.

With a room capacity of 120 there will be more than enough people to enjoy your set

For those who prefer to listen rather than spin the tracks then tables are available to be reserved in the VIP Speakeasy room for this event.

With table service, an exclusive drinks menu and specially selected DJ sets to listen to this is the perfect excuse to get a few mates together whether to celebrate end of term, a birthday or just because it's the bank holiday!

Tables take up to 15 people and will be reserved on a first come, first served basis.

Congratulations to NoFACE; the first winner of the VIP DnB mix competition.

I hope you'll all show your support in the Speakeasy room on the 24th May.

The other winners will be announced over the next few days.

This past year has seen NoFACE gain a reputation as one of Scotland’s top underground DJ’s.

Showcasing his diverse style at parties and clubs all over the country as well as producing the "Custom" show on Sub city Radio, which airs between 10 and 11pm every Friday, NoFACE is a busy man!

Congratulations to JanikaD; the second winner of the VIP DnB mix competition.

http://www.myspace.com/janikad

Born in Estiona but living in Edinburgh, Janika D started playing 4 years ago at local parties in her homeland before spreading her wings further a field to such places like Bulgaria, Sweeden, Budapest and Mauritius.

Janika has played alongside big names such as DJ Hype, Grooverider and Noisia . Street Knowledge on May 24th will be her Scottish DJing debut.

More winners to be announced soon.

Congratulations to DJ Arco; the third winner of the VIP DnB mix competition.

Arco has become a firm favourite amongst his comrades as THE DJ to get a party started, or indeed to keep it going in to the early morning hours. Despite all his house-party experience Arco has only played out to a club once before and so is sure to play a set not to be missed.

The fourth and final winner will be announced early next week.

Congratulations to HarKonnen; the forth winner of the VIP DnB mix competition.

A finalist in last years Pangea DJ competition, HarKonnen has previously co-hosted a Sub City show called "Ruin It" and is also a regular guest on Sub City Drum and Bass show "Armed Response".

His current sets include personal re-edits of tracks, and enjoys merging new technology and productions tools with traditional vinyl DJing.

It was a tough decision to choose just four winners and with that in mind congratulations are also due to Retrend; he’ll be warming everyone up in the back room with a dubstep set.

http://www.myspace.com/retrend

Retrend has been playing local DnB gigs in St Andrews and Inverness for the past 5 years, however this will be his first gig with a headliner and his first experience of playing dubstep out. All the more reason to get there early.

Thank you to everyone who sent their mixes in. Watch out for the flyer coming out soon.

Unfortunately, as much as we’d love to see him playing, Grooverider shan’t be making an appearance as stated by the Metro this week
